  • Millenials and Zoomers experience decision fatigue differently (And what it means for Lemmy)

    Jump

  • Something I hadn’t considered to possibly be generational. When I was on Reddit, it was always old Reddit. I can’t imagine anyone using card view, I thought maybe that existed for iPads or devices with large screens.

    I also don’t see appeal in instagram or TikTok like the author though as well.

    I don’t necessarily get the consideration of “decision fatigue”. If you chose not to decide you still have made a choice. The choice then of allowing the app to just show you whatever can’t really be put on decision fatigue in my opinion.

  • Come to think of it, all the USB C cables I have are from phone and device chargers so I just took it for granted. Good to know. Thanks for sharing some knowledge with me

  • How decentralized is Bluesky really?

    Jump

  • It’s not exactly decentralized if you use the official relay only, just distributed which is a different concept entirely

  • Do not all USB C cables have the capability to do Power Delivery? I thought it was up to the port you plugged it in to support it?

  • That changes everything. That’s dirty pool, shouldn’t have been allowed by SEC/Fed or who ever their regulator was

  • The FDIC coverage wouldn’t be what they would be worried about. They wouldn’t have their accounts much above FDIC limits.

    My point is that the FDIC serves to prevent a banking crisis that would limit their ability to liquidate their assets and realize their wealth

    Jump

  • I realize that my comment does sound really harsh. And there definitely should be criminal penalties for falsely advertising that they were an FDIC covered institution and a best effort to return the funds

    But (again I am being harsh again) there is risk in putting your money in a faceless app instead of a brick and mortar institution and there needs to be some personal accountability for making bad decisions

  • The rebellion will be federated

    Jump

  • The platform splits literally don’t matter.

    1. That’s the point of open source, being able to make your own fork.
    2. The backend is AP not Lemmy, Kbin, mastodon, or piefed

    The fragmented ecosystem of ideas doesn’t really exist except in a few servers such as beehaw, lemmygrad, and hexbear. Beehaw and hexbear don’t even care about federation.

  • They are against things like the CFPB but they aren’t getting rid of the FDIC which is the good faith backing of the US banking system. The 1% isn’t so liquid that they wouldn’t lose huge amounts of money with a full scale banking crisis

  • Isn’t that what they signed up for when they put their money in a nonFDIC insured account?

    Jump

  • That definitely makes it accessible to newcomers. But costs are going to gatekeep smaller communities from hosting relays as the network scales. There are plenty of obscure conversations happening on the far corners of the network that don’t concern the majority, requiring a full network mirror of this activity just increases cost for minimal perceived benefit.

    There does need to be some level of seeding, I think the big push for getting starter packs and the like into Mastodon is an example of that need. At the same time, it’s hard to justify spending the money on extra storage and computer just so I can see posts on furry bluesky or some other niche but highly active community.

  • Removed Locked

    What is the difference between lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works?

    Jump

  • Being subscription based is what makes it feasible for smaller instances to exist on the fediverse. If every instance had to be a full mirror of the network only a few small groups could afford to host instances.

  • Bluesky, decentralisation, and the distribution of

    Jump

  • Almost nothing decentralized yet…

    You can host your own PDS (making it distributed but not decentralized), there is an ability to host a relay but hosting a relay requires mirroring the entire network instead of just subscribed nodes like AP, making it cost prohibitive for communities to organize their own relays on ATProto.

    If bluesky is serious about decentralization then they need to make mirroring the entire network optional, allow relays’ firehoses to only to stream the activity from subscribed accounts from their users and federate with relays that don’t mirror the entire network.

  • PieFed, a FOSS Feed Aggregator alternative to Lemmy, but faster

    Jump

  • I would curious to see if you could access piefed using Voyager for Lemmy as a front end. It’s about the only decent app for Lemmy that doesn’t squash things on my iPhone mini with text zoom enabled

  • Corporate rot sounds better than just rot as enshittification happens on purpose due to seeking to extract maximum value from something where as rot is just a natural consequence of atrophy over time

    Jump

  • I’ve read over the documentation a few times and maybe I’ve missed it somewhere else but I’m not aware of any option to host a relay yet. As far as I know only self hosting PDS’s are an option now (which only handle your own data and authentication but still relies on a relay to serve you content from the rest of the network) and app views (which are the front ends that sort and show content)

    So in a sense bluesky is distributed and portable within the ATProto network, but still centralized until other entities can host relays and interopt (or opt out of interoperability) within the network.
